IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
CHANGES:
12
13
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
14
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
15
16
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
17
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
18
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
19
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
20
21
NEW FEATURES:
22
23
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
24
(Aaron Bentley)
25
26
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
27
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
28
29
IMPROVEMENTS:
30
31
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
32
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
33
34
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
35
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
36
37
BUG FIXES:
38
39
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
40
control directory. (#139691)
41
42
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
43
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
44
45
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
46
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
47
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
48
49
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
50
(Jari Aalto)
51
52
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
53
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
54
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
55
56
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
57
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
58
59
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
60
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
61
62
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
63
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
64
65
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
66
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
67
68
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
69
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
70
work better with how it splits its requests.
71
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
72
73
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
74
(Aaron Bentley)
75
76
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
77
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
78
79
DOCUMENTATION:
80
81
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
82
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
83
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
84
(Ian Clatworthy)
85
86
API CHANGES:
87
88
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
89
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
90
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
91
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
92
93
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
94
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
95
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
96
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
97
98
TESTING:
99
100
INTERNALS:
101
102
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
103
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
104
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
105
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
106
(John Arbash Meinel)
107
108
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
109
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
110
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
111
112
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
113
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
114
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
115
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
116
117
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
118
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
119
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
120
(John Arbash Meinel)
121
122
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
123
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
124
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
125
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
126
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
127
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
128
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
129
130
131
132
bzr 1.10 2008-12-05
133
-------------------
134
135
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
136
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
137
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
138
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
139
implementation.
140
141
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
142
143
BUG FIXES:
144
145
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
146
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
147
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
148
(Martin Pool, #303856)
149
150
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
151
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
152
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
153
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
154
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
155
156
157
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
158
----------------------
159
160
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
161
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
162
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
163
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
164
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
165
166
NEW FEATURES:
167
168
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
169
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
170
171
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
172
(Aaron Bentley)
173
174
IMPROVEMENTS:
175
176
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
177
history just to set the last revision info.
178
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
179
180
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
181
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
182
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
183
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
184
185
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
186
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
187
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
188
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
189
(John Arbash Meinel)
190
191
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
192
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
193
194
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
195
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
196
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
197
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
198
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
199
200
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
201
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
202
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
203
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
204
205
BUG FIXES:
206
207
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
208
(Martin Pool, #289148)
209
210
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
211
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
212
213
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
214
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
215
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
216
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
217
218
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
219
starting with a dotted revno.
220
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
221
222
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
223
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
224
(Martin Pool, #288751)
225
226
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
227
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
228
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
229
230
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
231
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
232
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
233
234
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
235
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
236
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
237
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
238
239
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
240
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
241
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
242
243
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
244
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
245
246
API CHANGES:
247
248
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
249
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
250
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
251
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
252
253
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
254
have changed incompatibly.
255
256
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
257
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
258
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
259
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
260
don't need to change.
261
262
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
263
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
264
265
TESTING:
266
267
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
268
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
269
270
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
271
272
273
bzr 1.9 2008-11-07
274
------------------
275
276
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
277
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
278
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
279
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
280
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
281
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
282
283
BUG FIXES:
284
285
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
286
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
287
288
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
289
290
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
291
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
292
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
293
294
295
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
296
---------------------
297
298
NEW FEATURES:
299
300
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
301
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
302
303
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
304
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
305
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
306
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
307
308
IMPROVEMENTS:
309
310
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
311
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
312
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
313
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
314
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
315
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
316
317
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
318
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
319
320
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
321
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
322
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
323
324
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
325
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
326
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
327
(Andrew Bennetts)
328
329
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
330
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
331
332
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
333
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
334
335
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
336
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
337
338
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
339
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
340
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
341
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
342
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
343
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
344
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
345
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
346
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
347
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
348
349
BUG FIXES:
350
351
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
352
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
353
354
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
355
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
356
357
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
358
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
359
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
360
361
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
362
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
363
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
364
365
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
366
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
367
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
368
369
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
370
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
371
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
372
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
373
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
374
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
375
376
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
377
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
378
379
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
380
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
381
382
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
383
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
384
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
385
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
386
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
387
388
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
389
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
390
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
391
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
392
393
DOCUMENTATION:
394
395
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
396
397
API CHANGES:
398
399
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
400
401
INTERNALS:
402
403
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
404
configuration of authetication credentials.
405
406
407
bzr 1.8 2008-10-16
408
------------------
409
410
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
411
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
412
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
413
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
414
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
415
416
BUG FIXES:
417
418
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
419
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
420
421
PORTABILITY:
422
423
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
424
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
425
426
427
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
428
---------------------
429
430
CHANGES:
431
432
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
433
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
434
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
435
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
436
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
437
438
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
439
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
440
441
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
442
server. (Marius Kruger)
443
444
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
445
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
446
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
447
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
448
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
449
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
450
451
FEATURES:
452
453
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
454
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
455
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
456
welcome.
457
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
458
459
IMPROVEMENTS:
460
461
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
462
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
463
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
464
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
465
466
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
467
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
468
(Daniel Watkins)
469
470
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
471
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
472
(Andrew Bennetts)
473
474
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
475
(Robert Collins)
476
477
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
478
479
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
480
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
481
482
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
483
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
484
485
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
486
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
487
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
488
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
489
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
490
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
491
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
492
operations. (Robert Collins)
493
494
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
495
496
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
497
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
498
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
499
500
BUG FIXES:
501
502
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
503
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
504
(Martin Pool, #279381)
505
506
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
507
repository now preserves the repository format.
508
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
509
510
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
511
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
512
513
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
514
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
515
516
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
517
it's not there.
518
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
519
520
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
521
(Andrew Bennetts)
522
523
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
524
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
525
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
526
527
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
528
is in a different repository than the current one.
529
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
530
531
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
532
(David Futcher, #242106)
533
534
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
535
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
536
537
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
538
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
539
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
540
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
541
542
* Trivial documentation fix.
543
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
544
545
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
546
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
547
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
548
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
549
550
DOCUMENTATION:
551
552
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
553
554
API CHANGES:
555
556
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
557
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
558
to use. (Robert Collins)
559
560
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
561
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
562
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
563
564
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
565
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
566
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
567
they want. (Robert Collins)
568
569
TESTING:
570
571
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
572
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
573
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
574
575
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
576
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
577
(Mark Hammond)
578
579
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
580
(Aaron Bentley)
581
582
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
583
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
584
585
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
586
(Andrew Bennetts)
587
588
INTERNALS:
589
590
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
591
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
592
593
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
594
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
595
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
596
597
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
598
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
599
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
600
601
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
602
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
603
604
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
605
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
606
607
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
608
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
609
610
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
611
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
612
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
613
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
614
parameters anymore.

bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
619
--------------------
620
621
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
622
623
624
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
625
-----------------------
626
627
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
628
file paths when we encounter complex history.
629
630
FEATURES:
631
632
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
633
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
634
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
635
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
636
(John Arbash Meinel)
637
638
639
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
640
------------------
641
642
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
643
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
644
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
645
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
646
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
647
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
648
649
FEATURES
650
651
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
652
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
653
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
654
655
656
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
657
---------------------
658
659
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
660
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
661
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
662
connect to the stacked-on location.
663
664
BUG FIXES:
665
666
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
667
repository now preserves the repository format.
668
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
669
670
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
671
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
672
673
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
674
(Vincent Ladeuil)
675
676
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
677
(Andrew Bennetts)

680
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
681
---------------------
682
683
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
684
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
685
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
686
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
687
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
688
it in a future repository format.
689
690
691
CHANGES:
692
693
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
694
(Robert Collins)
695
696
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
697
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
698
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
699
700
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
701
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
702
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
703
704
FEATURES
705
706
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
707
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
708
709
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
710
711
IMPROVEMENTS:
712
713
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
714
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
715
(Martin Pool)
716
717
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
718
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
719
720
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
721
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
722
(Marius Kruger)
723
724
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
725
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
726
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
727
(John Arbash Meinel)
728
729
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
730
(Martin Pool, #261315)
731
732
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
733
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
734
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
735
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
736
(John Arbash Meinel)
737
738
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
739
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
740
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
741
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
742
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
743
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
744
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
745
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
746
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
747
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
748
749
BUG FIXES:
750
751
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
752
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
753
754
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
755
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
756
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
757
758
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
759
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
760
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
761
762
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
763
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
764
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
765
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
766
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
767
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
768
769
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
770
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
771
772
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
773
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
774
775
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
776
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
777
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
778
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
779
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
780
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
781
782
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
783
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
784
785
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
786
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
787
788
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
789
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
790
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
791
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
792
793
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
794
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
795
796
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
797
assuming the host name is ascii.
798
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
799
800
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
801
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
802
803
DOCUMENTATION:
804
805
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
806
807
API CHANGES:
808
809
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
810
811
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
812
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
813
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
814
(Robert Collins)
815
816
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
817
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
818
819
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
820
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
821
822
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
823
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
824
825
TESTING:
826
827
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
828
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
829
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
830
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
831
832
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
833
still in use.
834
(Mark Hammond)
835
836
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
837
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
838
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
839
840
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
841
(Vincent Ladeuil)
842
843
INTERNALS:
844
845
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
846
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
847
(Robert Collins)
848
849
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
850
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
851
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
852
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
853
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
854
855
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
856
is unknown in both source and target.
857
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
858
859
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
860
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
861
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
862
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
863
864
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
865
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
866
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
867
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
871
--------------------
872
873
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
874
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
875
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
876
877
878
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
879
-----------------------
880
881
BUG FIXES:
882
883
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
884
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
885
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
886
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
887
888
889
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
890
-----------------------
891
892
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
893
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
894
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
895
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
896
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
897
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
898
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
899
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
900
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
901
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
902
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
903
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
904
905
BUG FIXES:
906
907
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
908
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
909
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
910
start of the string (causing more copies).
911
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
912
especially for projects with large files.
913
(John Arbash Meinel)
914
915
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
916
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
917
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
918
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
919
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
920
921
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
922
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
923
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
924
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
925
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
930
------------------
931
932
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
933
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
934
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
935
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
936
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
937
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
938
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
939
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
940
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
941
942
943
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
944
---------------------
945
946
BUG FIXES:
947
948
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
949
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
950
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
951
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
952
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
953
954
955
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
956
---------------------
957
958
BUG FIXES:
959
960
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
961
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
962
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
963
964
965
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
966
---------------------
967
968
CHANGES:
969
970
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
971
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
972
(Robert Collins)
973
974
IMPROVEMENTS:
975
976
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
977
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
978
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
979
(Mark Hammond)
980
981
BUG FIXES:
982
983
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
984
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
985
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
986
987
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
988
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
989
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
990
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
991
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
992
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
993
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
994
995
996
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
997
---------------------
998
999
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1000
fixes for Windows.
1001
1002
BUG FIXES:
1003
1004
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1005
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1006
1007
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1008
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1009
(Aaron Bentley)
1010
1011
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1012
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1013
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1014
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1015
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1016
1017
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1018
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1019
1020
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1021
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1022
1023
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1024
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1025
1026
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1027
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1028
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1029
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1030
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1031
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1032
1033
1034
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1035
---------------------
1036
1037
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1038
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1039
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1040
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1041
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1042
1043
CHANGES:
1044
1045
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1046
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1047
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1048
1049
IMPROVEMENTS:
1050
1051
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1052
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1053
1054
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1055
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1056
1057
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1058
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1059
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1060
1061
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1062
(James Westby)
1063
1064
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1065
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1066
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1067
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1068
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1069
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1070
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1071
1072
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1073
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1074
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1075
1076
BUG FIXES:
1077
1078
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1079
physical repository boundaries.
1080
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1081
1082
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1083
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1084
1085
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1086
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1087
(Martin Pool)
1088
1089
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1090
(Ian Clatworthy)
1091
1092
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1093
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1094
that Python is running from.
1095
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1096
1097
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1098
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1099
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1100
1101
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1102
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1103
1104
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1105
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1106
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1107
1108
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1109
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1110
1111
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1112
(James Westby, #248448)
1113
1114
API CHANGES:
1115
1116
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1117
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1118
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1119
(Robert Collins)
1120
1121
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1122
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1123
(Robert Collins)
1124
1125
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1126
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1127
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1128
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1129
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1130
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1131
(Robert Collins)
1132
1133
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1134
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1135
1136
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1137
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1138
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1139
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1140
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1141
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1142
1143
INTERNALS:
1144
1145
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1146
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1147
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1148
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1149
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1150
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1151
1152
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1153
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1154
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1155
1156
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1157
(Ian Clatworthy)
1158
1159
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1160
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1161
1162
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1163
(Ian Clatworthy)

1165
1166
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1167
-----------------------
1168
1169
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1170
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1171
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1172
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1173
bug fixes.
1174
1175
FEATURES:
1176
1177
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1178
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1179
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1180
1181
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1182
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1183
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1184
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1185
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1186
(Ian Clatworthy)
1187
1188
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1189
1190
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1191
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1192
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1193
(Robert Collins)
1194
1195
IMPROVEMENTS:
1196
1197
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1198
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1199
(Martin Pool)
1200
1201
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1202
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1203
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1204
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1205
1206
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1207
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1208
(Christophe Troestler)
1209
1210
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1211
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1212
1213
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1214
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1215
faster. The new request method name is
1216
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1217
1218
BUG FIXES:
1219
1220
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1221
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1222
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1223
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1224
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1225
1226
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1227
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1228
1229
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1230
requires a branch to be present.
1231
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1232
1233
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1234
loaded.
1235
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1236
1237
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1238
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1239
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1240
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1241
1242
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1243
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1244
1245
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1246
name contains an @.
1247
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1248
1249
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1250
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1251
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1252
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1253
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1254
1255
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1256
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1257
1258
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1259
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1260
1261
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1262
Cygwin Bazaar.
1263
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1264
1265
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1266
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1267
1268
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1269
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1270
1271
DOCUMENTATION:
1272
1273
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1274
(Ian Clatworthy)
1275
1276
* Updated developer documentation.
1277
(Martin Pool)
1278
1279
TESTING:
1280
1281
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1282
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1283
1284
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1285
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1286
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1287
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1288
1289
API CHANGES:
1290
1291
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1292
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1293
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1294
Repository docstring for more details.
1295
(Robert Collins)
1296
1297
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1298
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1299
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1300
1301
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1302
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1303
(Daniel Watkins)
1304
1305
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1306
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1307
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1308
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1309
1310
INTERNALS:
1311
1312
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1313
(Alexander Belchenko)
1314
1315
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1316
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1317
containing a given location.
1318
(Daniel Watkins)
1319
1320
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1321
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1322
storage. (Robert Collins)
1323
1324
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1325
(Robert Collins)
1326
1327
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1328
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1329
(Robert Collins)

1331
1332
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1333
-----------------------
1334
1335
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1336
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1337
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1338
now faster.
1339
1340
BUG FIXES:
1341
1342
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1343
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1344
reading from the repository.)
1345
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1346
1347
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1348
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1349
1350
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1351
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1352
(Andrew Bennetts)
1353
1354
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1355
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1356
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1357
1358
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1359
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1360
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1361
1362
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1363
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1364
1365
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1366
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1367
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1368
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1369
1370
IMPROVEMENTS:
1371
1372
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1373
1374
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1375
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1376
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1377
(Adrian Wilkins)
1378
1379
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1380
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1381
1382
DOCUMENTATION:
1383
1384
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1385
1386
TESTING:
1387
1388
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1389
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1390
1391
API CHANGES:
1392
1393
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1394
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1395
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1396
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1397
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1398
1399
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1400
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1401
1402
INTERNALS:
1403
1404
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1405
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1406
1407
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1408
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1412
-----------------------
1413
1414
1415
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1416
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1417
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1418
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1419
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1420
and future extensions.
1421
1422
1423
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1424
1425
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1426
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1427
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1428
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1429
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1430
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1431
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1432
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1433
1434
CHANGES:
1435
1436
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1437
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1438
(John Arbash Meinel)
1439
1440
FEATURES:
1441
1442
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1443
load. (James Westby)
1444
1445
IMPROVEMENTS:
1446
1447
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1448
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1449
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1450
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1451
1452
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1453
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1454
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1455
1456
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1457
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1458
1459
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1460
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1461
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1462
1463
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1464
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1465
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1466
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1467
step closer to not using full revision history.
1468
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1469
1470
BUGFIXES:
1471
1472
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1473
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1474
1475
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1476
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1477
1478
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1479
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1480
1481
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1482
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1483
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1484
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1485
1486
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1487
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1488
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1489
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1490
1491
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1492
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1493
in use by another process.
1494
(Martin Pool)
1495
1496
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1497
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1498
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1499
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1500
1501
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1502
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1503
1504
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1505
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1506
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1507
1508
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1509
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1510
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1511
1512
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1513
them.
1514
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1515
1516
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1517
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1518
1519
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1520
under vim on Mac OS X.
1521
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1522
1523
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1524
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1525
1526
DOCUMENTATION:
1527
1528
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1529
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1530
1531
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1532
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1533
(Ian Clatworthy)
1534
1535
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1536
and about use of Python reprs.
1537
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1538
1539
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1540
1541
TESTING:
1542
1543
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1544
(Robert Collins)
1545
1546
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1547
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1548
1549
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1550
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1551
1552
INTERNALS:
1553
1554
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1555
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1556
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1557
(John Arbash Meinel)
1558
1559
API CHANGES:
1560
1561
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1562
instead. (Martin Pool)
1563
1564
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1565
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1566
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1567
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1568
1569
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1570
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1571
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1572
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1573
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1574
1575
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1576
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1577
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1578
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1579
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1580
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1581
1582
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1583
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1584
(Martin Pool)
1585
1586
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1587
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1588
(Robert Collins)
1589
1590
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1591
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1592
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1593
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1594
1595
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1596
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1597
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1598
1599
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1600
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1601
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1602
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1603
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1604
(Martin Pool)
1605
1606
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1607
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1608
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1609
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1610
(Robert Collins)
1611
1612
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1613
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1614
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1615
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1616
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1617
1618
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

1623
------------------
1624
1625
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1626
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1627
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1628
1629
CHANGES:
1630
1631
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1632
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1633
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1634
1635
DOCUMENTATION:
1636
1637
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

1645
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1646
1647
CHANGES:
1648
1649
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1650
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1651
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1652
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1653
1654
FEATURES:
1655
1656
IMPROVEMENTS:
1657
1658
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1659
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1660
1661
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1662
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1663
1664
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1665
(Aaron Bentley)
1666
1667
BUGFIXES:
1668
1669
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1670
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1671
1672
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1673
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1674
1675
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1676
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1677
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1678
1679
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1680
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1681
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1682
1683
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1684
(Andreas Deininger)
1685
1686
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1688
1689
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1690
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1691
1692
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1693
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1694
1695
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1696
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1697
1698
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1699
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1701
1702
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1703
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1704
1705
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1706
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1707
1708
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1709
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1710
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1711
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1712
1713
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1714
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1715
(Martin Pool)
1716
1717
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1718
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1719
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1720
1721
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1722
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1723
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1724
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1725
every revision each side had in common.
1726
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1727
1728
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1729
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1730
1731
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1732
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1733
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1734
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1735
1736
DOCUMENTATION:
1737
1738
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1739
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1740
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1741
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1742
1743
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1744
1745
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1746
1747
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1748
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1749
1750
TESTING:
1751
1752
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1753
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1754
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1755
1756
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1757
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1758
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1759
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1760
1761
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1762
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1763
1764
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1765
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1766
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1767
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1768
1769
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1770
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1771
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1772
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1773
1774
INTERNALS:
1775
1776
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1777
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1778
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1779
1780
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1781
1782
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1783
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1784
1785
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1786
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1787
1788
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1789
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1790
1791
API CHANGES:
1792
1793
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1794
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1795
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1796
1797
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1798
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1799
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1800
(Aaron Bentley)
1801
1802
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1803
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1804
(Martin Pool)
1805
1806
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1813
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1814
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1815
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1816
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1817
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1818
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1819
and faster performance.

CHANGES:
1856
1857
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1858
1859
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1860
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1861
1862
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1863
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1864
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1865
1866
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1867
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1868
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1869
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1870
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1871
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1872
Andrew Cowie)
1873
1874
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1875
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1876
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1877
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1878
1879
FEATURES:
1880
1881
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1882
1883
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1884
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1885
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1886
1887
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1888
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1889
See the User Reference for signature details.
1890
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1891
1892
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1893
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1894
1895
IMPROVEMENTS:
1896
1897
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1898
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1899
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1900
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1901
1902
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1903
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1904
1905
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1906
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1907
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1908
Wouter van Heyst)
1909
1910
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1911
(Chad Miller)
1912
1913
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1914
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1915
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1916
1917
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1918
(Aaron Bentley)
1919
1920
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1921
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1922
1923
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1924
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1925
1926
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1927
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1928
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1929
1930
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1931
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1932
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1933
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1934
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1935
1936
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1937
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1938
1939
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1940
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1941
1942
BUGFIXES:
1943
1944
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1945
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1946
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1947
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1948
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1949
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1950
1951
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1952
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1953
1954
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1955
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1956
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1957
1958
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1959
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1960
1961
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1962
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1963
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1964
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1965
1966
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1967
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1968
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1969
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1970
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1971
1972
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1973
1974
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1975
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1976
1977
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1978
1979
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1980
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1981
1982
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1983
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1984
1985
DOCUMENTATION:
1986
1987
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1988
1989
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1990
1991
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1992
1993
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1994
1995
API BREAKS:
1996
1997
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1998
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1999
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2000
2001
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2002
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2003
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2004
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2005
2006
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2007
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2008
release. (James Westby)
2009
2010
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2011
(Andrew Bennetts)
2012
2013
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2014
2015
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2016
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2017
2018
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2019
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2020
2021
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2022
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2023
2024
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2025
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2026
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2027
2028
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2029
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2030
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2031
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2032
2033
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2034
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2035
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2036
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2037
2038
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2039
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2040
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2041
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2042
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2043
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2044
2045
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2046
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2047
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2048
2049
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2050
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2051
2052
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2053
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2054
(Robert Collins)
2055
2056
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2057
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2058
2059
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2060
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2061
2062
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2063
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2064
2065
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2066
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2067
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2068
2069
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2070
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2071
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2072
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2073
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2074
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2075
2076
TESTING:
2077
2078
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2079
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2080
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2081
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2082
2083
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2084
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2085
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2086
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2087
implement this).
2088
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2089
2090
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2091
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2092
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2093
2094
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2095
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2096
2097
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2098
2099
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2100
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2101
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2102
2103
INTERNALS:
2104
2105
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2106
2107
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2108
(Martin Albisetti)
2109
2110
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2111
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2112
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2113
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2114
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2115
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2116
2117
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2118
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2119
2120
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2121
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2122
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2123
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2124
2125
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2126
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2127
2128
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2129
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

2139
---------------------
2140
2141
BUG FIXES:
2142
2143
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2144
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2145
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2146

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
2150
------------------
2151
2152
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2153
2154
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2155
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2156
features have been added.
2157
2158
TESTING:
2159
2160
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
2161
directory names.
2162

2168
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2169
2170
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2171
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2172
2173
CHANGES:
2174
2175
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2176
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2177
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2178
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2179
(Robert Collins)
2180
2181
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2182
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2183
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2184
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2185
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2186
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2187
2188
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2189
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2190
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2191
(Alexander Belchenko)
2192
2193
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2194
2195
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2196
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2197
2198
FEATURES:
2199
2200
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2201
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2202
2203
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2204
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2205
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2206
2207
IMPROVEMENTS:
2208
2209
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2210
2211
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2212
2213
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2214
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2215
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2216
2217
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2218
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2219
2220
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2221
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2222
2223
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2224
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2225
(Alexander Belchenko)
2226
2227
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2228
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2229
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2230
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2231
2232
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2233
(Daniel Watkins)
2234
2235
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2236
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2237
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2238
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2239
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2240
2241
BUGFIXES:
2242
2243
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2244
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2245
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2246
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2247
2248
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2249
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2250
2251
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2252
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2253
2254
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2255
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2256
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2257
2258
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2259
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2260
2261
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2262
#196618)
2263
2264
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2265
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2266
2267
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2268
2269
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2270
2271
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2272
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2273
2274
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2275
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2276
2277
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2278
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2279
2280
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2281
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2282
2283
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2284
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2285
2286
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2287
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2288
2289
DOCUMENTATION:
2290
2291
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2292
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2293
2294
API BREAKS:
2295
2296
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2297
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2298
(Alexander Belchenko)
2299
2300
TESTING:
2301
2302
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2303
2304
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2305
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2306
(Robert Collins)
2307
2308
INTERNALS:
2309
2310
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2311
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2312
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2313
2314
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2315
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2316
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2317
(Alexander Belchenko)
2318
2319
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2320
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2321
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2322
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2323
2324
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2325
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2326
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2327
(Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2330
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2331
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2332
2333
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2334
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2335
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2336
2337
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2338
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2339
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2340
format. (Robert Collins)

2354
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2355
2356
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2357
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2358
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2359
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2360
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2361
(Andrew Bennetts)
2362
2363
CHANGES:
2364
2365
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2366
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2367
2368
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2369
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2370
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2371
2372
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2373
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2374
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2375
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2376
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2377
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2378
(Aaron Bentley)
2379
2380
FEATURES:
2381
2382
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2383
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2384
2385
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2386
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2387
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2388
(Robert Collins)
2389
2390
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2391
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2392
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2393
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2394
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2395
2396
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2397
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2398
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2399
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2400
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2401
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2402
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2403
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2404
2405
IMPROVEMENTS:
2406
2407
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2408
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2409
2410
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2411
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2412
2413
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2414
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2415
2416
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2417
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2418
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2419
2420
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2421
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2422
(John Arbash Meinel)
2423
2424
BUGFIXES:
2425
2426
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2427
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2428
2429
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2430
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2431
2432
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2433
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2434
2435
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2436
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2437
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2438
2439
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2440
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2441
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2442
2443
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2444
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2445
2446
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2447
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2448
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2449
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2450
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2451
unittest runner.
2452
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2453
2454
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2455
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2456
#185907)
2457
2458
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2459
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2460
2461
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2462
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2463
2464
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2466
2467
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2468
more characters which should be considered valid.
2469
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2470
2471
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2472
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2473
2474
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2475
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2476
2477
API BREAKS:
2478
2479
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2480
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2481
2482
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2483
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2484
(Martin Pool)
2485
2486
TESTING:
2487
2488
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2489
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2490
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2491
2492
INTERNALS:
2493
2494
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2495
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2496
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2497
2498
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2499
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2500
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2501
2502
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2503
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2504
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2505
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2506
2507
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2508
2509
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2510
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2511
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2512
server. (Robert Collins)
2513
2514
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2515
operate. (Robert Collins)
2516
2517
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2518
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2519
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2520
2521
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2522
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2523
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2524
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2525
2526
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2527
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2528
2529
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2530
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2531
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2532
2533
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2534
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2535
2536
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2537
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2538
2539
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2540
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2541
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2542
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

2549
2550
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2551
---------------------
2552
2553
CHANGES:
2554
2555
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2556
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2557
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2558
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2559
2560
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2561
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2562
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2563
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2564
2565
FEATURES:
2566
2567
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2568
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2569
2570
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2571
(Aaron Bentley)
2572
2573
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2574
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2575
2576
IMPROVEMENTS:
2577
2578
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2579
#90049)
2580
2581
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2582
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2583
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2584
2585
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2586
2587
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2588
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2589
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2590
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2591
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2592
2593
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2594
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2595
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2598
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2599
2600
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2601
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2602
2603
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2604
2605
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2606
2607
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2608
(Aaron Bentley)
2609
2610
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2611
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2612
2613
BUGFIXES:
2614
2615
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2616
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2617
2618
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2620
2621
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2622
(Aaron Bentley)
2623
2624
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2625
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2626
2627
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2628
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2629
2630
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2631
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2632
2633
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2634
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2635
2636
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2637
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2638
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2639
2640
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2642
2643
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2644
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2645
(Aaron Bentley)
2646
2647
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2648
2649
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2650
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2652
2653
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2654
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2655
2656
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2657
(Aaron Bentley)
2658
2659
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2660
#148087)
2661
2662
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2663
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2664
2665
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2666
#137681)
2667
2668
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2669
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2670
(Aaron Bentley)
2671
2672
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2673
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2674
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2675
2676
DOCUMENTATION:
2677
2678
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2679
(Ian Clatworthy)
2680
2681
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2682
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2683
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2684
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2685
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2686
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2687
2688
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2689
2690
INTERNALS:
2691
2692
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2693
(Aaron Bentley)
2694
2695
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2696
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2697
2698
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2699
2700
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2701
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2702
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2703
Robert Collins)
2704
2705
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2706
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2707
2708
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2709
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2710
2711
API BREAKS:
2712
2713
TESTING:
2714
2715
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2716
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2717
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2718
2719
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2720
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2721
(Robert Collins)
2722
2723
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2724
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2725
2726
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2727
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2728
2729
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2730
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2731
2732
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2733
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2734
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2735
2736
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2737
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2738
2739
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2740
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2741
2742
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2743
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2744
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2745
2746
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2747
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2748
2749
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2750
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

2782
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2783
2784
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2785
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2786
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2787
feedback but also incur more latency.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2789
2790
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2791
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2792
2793
DOCUMENTATION:
2794
2795
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2796
2797

INTERNALS:
2801
2802
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2803
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2804
wraps its output in a StringIO.

IMPROVEMENTS:
2812
2813
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2814
2815
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2816
(Aaron Bentley)
2817
2818
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2819
Nordhoff, #172612)
2820
2821
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2822
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2823
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2824
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2825
2826
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2827
(Kent Gibson)
2828
2829
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2830
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2831
2832
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2833
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2834
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2835
2836
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2837
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2838
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2839
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2840
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2841
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2842
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2843
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2844
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2845
2846
INTERNALS:
2847
2848
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2849
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2850
2851
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2852
2853
BUGFIXES:
2854
2855
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2856
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2857
2858
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2859
filename to user.
2860
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2861
2862
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2863
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2864
required.
2865
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2866
2867
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2868
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2869
2870
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2871
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2872
2873
API BREAKS:
2874
2875

2876
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2880
---------------------
2881
2882
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2883
2884
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2885
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2886
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2887
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2888
2889
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2890
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2891
2892
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2893
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2894
2895
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2896
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2897
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2898
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2899
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2900
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2901
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2902
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2903
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2904
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2905
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2906
from any tree without problems.
2907
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2908
2909
CHANGES:
2910
2911
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2912
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2913
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2914
2915
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2916
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2917
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2918
(Martin Pool)
2919
2920
FEATURES:
2921
2922
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2923
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2924
supported transports.
2925
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2926
2927
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2928
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2929
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2930
2931
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2932
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2933
2934
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2935
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2936
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2937
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2938
2939
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2940
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2941
2942
PERFORMANCE:
2943
2944
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2945
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2946
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2947
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2948
2949
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2950
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2951
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2952
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2953
2954
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2955
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2956
2957
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2958
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2959
2960
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2961
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2962
2963
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2964
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2965
(Aaron Bentley)
2966
2967
IMPROVEMENTS:
2968
2969
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2970
(Aaron Bentley)
2971
2972
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2973
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2974
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2975
2976
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2977
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2978
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2979
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2980
2981
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2982
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2983
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2984
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2991
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2992
2993
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2994
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2995
2996
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2997
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2998
2999
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3001
3002
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3003
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3004
3005
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3006
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3007
3008
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3009
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

3011
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3012
(Aaron Bentley)
3013
3014
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3015
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3016
3017
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3018
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3019
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3020
3021
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3022
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3023
3024
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3025
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3026
3027
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3028
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3029
3030
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3031
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3032
3033
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3034
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3035
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3036
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3037
on them.
3038
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3039
3040
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3041
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3042
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3043
3044
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3045
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3046
3047
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3048
to be reconciled.
3049
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3050
3051
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3052
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3053
3054
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3055
specify a port in urls.
3056
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3057
3058
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3059
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3060
3061
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3062
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3063
3064
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3065
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3066
3067
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3068
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3069
3070
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3071
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3072
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3073
3074
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3075
3076
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3077
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3078
3079
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3080
Watkins, #152811)
3081
3082
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3083
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3084
3085
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3086
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3087
3088
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3089
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3090
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3091
3092
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3093
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3094
3095
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3096
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3097
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3098
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3099
3100
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3101
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3102
3103
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3104
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3105
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3106
3107
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3108
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3109
3110
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3112
3113
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3115
3116
API BREAKS:
3117
3118
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3119
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3120
3121
* The return value of
3122
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3123
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3124
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3125
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3126
3127
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3128
(Robert Collins)
3129
3130
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3131
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3132
format.
3133
(Martin Pool)
3134
3135
INTERNALS:
3136
3137
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3138
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3139
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3140
Bennetts)
3141
3142
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3143
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3144
3145
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

----------------------
3160
3161
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3162
3163
CHANGES:
3164
3165
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3166
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3167
3168
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3169
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3170
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3171
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3172
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3173
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3174
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3175
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3176
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3177
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3178
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3179
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3180
(Robert Collins)
3181
3182
FEATURES:
3183
3184
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3185
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3186
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3187
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3188
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3189
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3190
3191
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3192
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3193
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3194
(Robert Collins)
3195
3196
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3197
3198
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3199
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3200
3201
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3202
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3203
(Aaron Bentley)
3204
3205
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3206
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3207
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3208
3209
PERFORMANCE:
3210
3211
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3212
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3213
3214
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3215
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3216
3217
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3218
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3219
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3220
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3221
3222
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3223
(Robert Collins)
3224
3225
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3226
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3227
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3228
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3229
3230
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3231
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3232
3233
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3234
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3235
3236
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3237
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3238
3239
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3240
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3241
3242
IMPROVEMENTS:
3243
3244
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3245
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3246
3247
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3248
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3249
3250
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3251
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3252
3253
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3254
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3255
3256
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3257
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)

3260
3261
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3262
3263
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3264
(Ian Clatworthy)
3265
3266
BUG FIXES:
3267
3268
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3269
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3270
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3271
3272
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3273
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3274
3275
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3276
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3277
3278
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3279
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3280
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3281
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3282
3283
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3284
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3285
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3286
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3287
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3288
3289
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3290
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3291
paramiko.
3292
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3293
3294
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3295
3296
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3297
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3298
3299
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3301
3302
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3303
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3304
3305
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3306
contains a symbolic link.
3307
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3308
3309
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3310
(James Westby, #140615)
3311
3312
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3313
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3314
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3315
3316
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3317
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3318
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3319
3320
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3321
3322
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3323
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3324
3325
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3326
will remain opened.
3327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3328
3329
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3330
directory to detect leaking tests.
3331
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3332
3333
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3334
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3335
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3336
3337
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3338
(Rob Weir, #141629)
3339
3340
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3341
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3342
3343
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3344
Merwe)
3345
3346
API BREAKS:
3347
3348
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3349
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3350
3351
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3352
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3353
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3354
3355
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3356
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3357
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3358
3359
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3360
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3361
3362
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3363
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3364
3365
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3366
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3367
(Martin Pool)
3368
3369
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3370
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3371
3372
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3373
class that needs it.
3374
(Martin Pool)
3375
3376
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3377
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3378
3379
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3380
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3381
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3382
3383
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3384
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3385
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3386
(Robert Collins)
3387
3388
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3389
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3390
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3391
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3392
(Robert Collins)
3393
3394
INTERNALS:
3395
3396
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3397
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3398
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3399
3400
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3401
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3402
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3403
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3404
3405
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3406
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3407
(Robert Collins)
3408
3409
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3410
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3411
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3412
3413
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3414
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3415
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3416
3417
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3418
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3419
3420
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3421
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3422
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3423
3424
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3425
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3426
3427
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3428
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3429
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3430
3431
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3432
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3433
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3434
3435
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3436
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3437
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3438
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3439
3440
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3441
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3442
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3443
returned. (Robert Collins)
3444
3445
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3446
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3447
3448
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3449
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3450
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3451
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3452
(Robert Collins)
3453
3454
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3455
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3456
3457
TESTING:
3458
3459
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3460
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3461
3462
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3463
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3464
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3465
makes this behavior available to other users.
3466
(Martin Pool)
3467
3468
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3469
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3470
3471
3472
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
3473
-------------------
3474
3475
BUG FIXES:
3476
3477
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3478
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3479
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3480
3481
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3482
3483
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3484
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3485
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3486
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3487
3488
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3489
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3490
(Andrew Bennetts)
3491
3492
3493
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3494
----------------------
3495
3496
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3497
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3498
3499
3500
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3501
----------------------
3502
3503
CHANGES:
3504
3505
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3506
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3507
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3508
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3509
(Martin Pool)
3510
3511
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3512
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3513
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3514
(Ian Clatworthy)
3515
3516
FEATURES:
3517
3518
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3519
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3520
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3521
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3522
3523
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3524
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3525
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3526
3527
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3528
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3529
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3530
3531
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3532
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3533
3534
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3535
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3536
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3537
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3538
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3539
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3540
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3541
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3542
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3543
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3544
3545
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3546
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3547
3548
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3549
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3550
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3551
3552
BUG FIXES:
3553
3554
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3555
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3556
3557
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3558
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3559
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3560
3561
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3562
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3563
3564
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3565
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3566
3567
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3568
(Aaron Bentley)
3569
3570
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3571
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3572
3573
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3574
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3575
3576
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3577
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3578
3579
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3580
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3581
3582
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3583
3584
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3585
Watkins, #106726)
3586
3587
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3588
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3589
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3590
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3591
3592
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3593
3594
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3595
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3596
#133548)
3597
3598
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3599
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3600
3601
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3602
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3603
#116143)
3604
3605
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3606
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3607
3608
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3609
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3610
3611
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3612
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3613
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3614
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3615
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3616
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3617
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3618
3619
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3620
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3621
3622
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3623
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3624
3625
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3626
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3627
3628
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3629
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3630
3631
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3632
connections.
3633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3634
3635
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3636
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3637
3638
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3639
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3640
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3641
3642
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3643
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3644
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3645
3646
IMPROVEMENTS:
3647
3648
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3649
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3650
3651
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3652
(Aaron Bentley)
3653
3654
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3655
(Aaron Bentley)
3656
3657
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3658
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3659
3660
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3661
3662
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3663
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3664
3665
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3666
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3667
3668
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3669
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3670
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3671
space). (Robert Collins)
3672
3673
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3674
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3675
(Ian Clatworthy)
3676
3677
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3678
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3679
3680
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3681
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3682
3683
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3684
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3685
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3686
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3687
3688
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3689
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3690
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3691
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3692
3693
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3694
(Ian Clatworthy)
3695
3696
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3697
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3698
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3699
3700
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3701
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3702
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3703
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3704
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3705
3706
API BREAKS:
3707
3708
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3709
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3710
3711
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3712
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3713
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3714
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3715
affected. (Robert Collins)
3716
3717
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3718
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3719
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3720
(Robert Collins)
3721
3722
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3723
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3724
3725
TESTING:
3726
3727
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3728
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3729
3730
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3731
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3732
3733
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3734
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3735
3736
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3737
(Aaron Bentley)
3738
3739
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3740
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3741
3742
INTERNALS:
3743
3744
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3745
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3746
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3747
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3748
3749
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3750
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3751
3752
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3753
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3754
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3755
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3756
3757
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3758
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3759
present. (Robert Collins)
3760
3761
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3762
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3763
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3764
API. (Robert Collins)
3765
3766
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3767
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3768
(Robert Collins)
3769
3770
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3771
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3772
3773
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3774
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3775
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3776
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3777
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3778
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3779
3780
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3781
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3782
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3783
3784
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3785
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3786
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3787
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3788
protocol.
3789
3790
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3791
(Aaron Bentley)
3792
3793
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3794
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3795
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3796
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3797
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3798
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3799
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3800
3801
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3802
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3803
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3804
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3805
3806
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3807
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3808
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3809
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3810
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3811
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3812
3813
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3814
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3815
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3816
3817
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3818
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
3823
3824
IMPROVEMENTS:
3825
3826
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3827
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3828
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3829
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3830
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3831
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3832
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3834
3835
3836
API CHANGES:
3837
3838
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3839
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3840
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3841

3843
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3844
----------------------
3845
3846
BUGFIXES:
3847
3848
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3849
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3850
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3851
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3852
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3853
3854
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3855
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3856
3857
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3858
anymore.
3859
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3860
3861
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3862
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3863
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3864
3865
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3866
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3867
#111664)
3868
3869
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3870
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3871
3872
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3873
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3874
3875
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3876
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3877
3878
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3879
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3880
3881
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3882
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3883
3884
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3885
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3886
3887
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3888
(Aaron Bentley)
3889
3890
IMPROVEMENTS:
3891
3892
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3893
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3894
3895
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3896
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3897
3898
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3899
the repository (Robert Collins)
3900
3901
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3902
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3903
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3904
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3905
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3906
3907
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3908
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3909
3910
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3911
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3912
(John Arbash Meinel)
3913
3914
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3915
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3916
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3917
about 10%).
3918
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3919
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3920
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3921
(John Arbash Meinel)
3922
3923
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3924
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3925
(Robert Collins)
3926
3927
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3928
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3929
3930
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3931
(Ian Clatworthy)
3932
3933
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3934
3935
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3936
3937
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3938
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3939
3940
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3941
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3942
Meinel)
3943
3944
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3945
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3946
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3947
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3948
3949
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3950
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3951
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3952
3953
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3954
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3955
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3956
3957
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3958
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3959
3960
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3961
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3962
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3963
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3964
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3965
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3966
(Ian Clatworthy)
3967
3968
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3969
(Alexander Belchenko)
3970
3971
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3972
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3973
3974
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3975
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3976
3977
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3978
3979
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3980
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3981
3982
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3983
3984
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3985
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3986
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3987
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3988
3989
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3990
3991
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3992
(Robert Collins)
3993
3994
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3995
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3996
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3997
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3998
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3999
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4000
4001
INTERNALS:
4002
4003
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4004
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4005
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4006
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4007
4008
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4009
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4010
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4011
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4012
tests have been refactored too.
4013
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4014
4015
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4016
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4017
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4018
list, it will.
4019
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4020
4021
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4022
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4023
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4024
4025
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4026
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4027
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4028
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4029
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4030
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4031
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4032
4033
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4034
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4035
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4036
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4037
(John Arbash Meinel)
4038
4039
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4040
functionality for testing.
4041
4042
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4043
4044
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4045
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4046
4047
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4048
4049
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4050
(Robert Collins)
4051
4052
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4053
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4054
4055
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4056
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4057
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4058
4059
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4060
(Aaron Bentley)
4061
4062
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4063
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4064
4065
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4066
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4067
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4068
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4069
4070
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4071
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4072
4073
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4074
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4075
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4076
4077
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4078
(Marius Kruger)
4079
4080
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4081
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4082
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4083
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4084
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4085
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4086
4087
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4088
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4089
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4090
many files. (Robert Collins)
4091
4092
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4093
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4094
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4095
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4096
4097
TESTING:
4098
4099
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4100
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4101
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4102
4103
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4104
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4105
4106
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4107
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4108
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

4124
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4125
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4126
4127
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4128
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4129
(James Westby, #122656)
4130
4131
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4132
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4133
4134
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4135
authentication header.
4136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4137
4138
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)

* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4141
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4142

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

4149
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4151
4152

4153
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4154
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4155
4156
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4157
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4158
4159
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4161
4162
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4163
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4164
4165
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4166
4167
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).

IMPROVEMENTS:
4170
4171
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4172
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4173
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4174
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4175
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4176
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4177
4178
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4179
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4180
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4181
4182
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4183
(Elliot Murphy)
4184
4185
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4186
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4187
4188
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4189
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4190
4191
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4192
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4193
4194
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4195
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4196
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4197
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4198
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4199
4200
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4201
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4202
4203
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4204
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4205
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4206
4207
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4208
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4209
4210
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4211
4212
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4213
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4214
4215
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4216
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4217
(Robert Collins)
4218
4219
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4220
(Martin Pool)
4221
4222
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4223
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4224
4225
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4226
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4227
4228
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4229
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4230
4231
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4232
4233
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4234
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4235
4236
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4237
(Andrew Bennetts)
4238
4239
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
4240
4241
* Testing cleanups -
4242
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4243
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4244
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4245
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4246
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4247
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4248
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4249
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4250
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4251
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4252
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4253
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4254
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4255
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4256
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4257
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4258
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4259
(Robert Collins)
4260
4261
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4262
4263
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4264
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4265
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4266
4267
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4268
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4269
4270
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4271
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4272
4273
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4274
4275
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4276
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4277
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4278
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4279
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4280
same location. (Robert Collins)
4281
4282
INTERNALS:
4283
4284
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4285
4286
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4287
4288
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4289
4290
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4291
(Martin Pool)
4292
4293
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4294
(Martin Pool)
4295
4296
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4297
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4298
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4299
4300
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4301
4302
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4303
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4304
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4305
4306
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4307
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4308
4309
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4310
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4311
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4312
4313
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4314
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4315
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4316
4317
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4318
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4319
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4320
4321
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4322
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4323
Martin Pool)
4324
4325
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4326
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4327
4328
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4329
(Alexander Belchenko)
4330
4331
TESTING:
4332
4333
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4334
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4335
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4336
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4337
4338
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4339
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4340
testing. (Robert Collins)
4341
4342
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4343
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4344
4345
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4346
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4347
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4348
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4349
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4350
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4351
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4352
4353
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4354
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4355
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4356
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4357
4358
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4359
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4360
4361
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4362
avoid useless cloning.

BUGFIXES:
4370
4371
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4372
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4373
4374
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

-----------------------
4380
4381
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4382
4383
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4384
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4385
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4386
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4387
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4388
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4389
and unlock() like so::
4390
4391
work_tree.lock_read()
4392
try:
4393
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4394
finally:
4395
work_tree.unlock()
4396
4397
INTERNALS:
4398
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4399
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4400
object.
4401
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4402
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4403
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4404
4405
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4406
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4407
too. (Robert Collins)
4408
4409
IMPROVEMENTS:
4410
4411
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4412
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4413
Aaron Bentley)
4414
4415
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4416
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4417
4418
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4419
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4420
4421
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4422
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4423
understanding what changes have occurred
4424
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4425
4426
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4427
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4428
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4429
4430
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4431
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4432
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4433
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4434
4435
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4436
#56322)
4437
4438
BUGFIXES:
4439
4440
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4441
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4442
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4443
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4444
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4445
4446
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4447
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4448
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4449
4450
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4451
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4452
4453
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4454
into account.
4455
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4456
4457
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4458
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4459
4460
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4461
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4462
4463
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4464
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4465
4466
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4467
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4468
4469
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4470
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4471
4472
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4473
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4474
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4475
4476
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
4477
--------------------
4478
4479
BUGFIXES:
4480
4481
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4482
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4483
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4484
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4485
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4486
4487
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4488
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4489
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4490
4491
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4492
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4493
4494
IMPROVEMENTS:
4495
4496
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4497
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4498
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4499
4500
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4501
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4502
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4503
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4505
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4506
-----------------------
4507
4508
BUGFIXES:
4509
4510
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4511
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4512
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4513
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4514
4515
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4516
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4517
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4518
4519
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4520
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4521
4522
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4523
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4524
4525
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4526
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4527
4528
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4529
-----------------------
4530
4531
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4532
4533
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4534
it could be recovered again.
4535
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4536
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4537
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4538
but not delete it.
4539
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4540
files.
4541
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4542
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4543
4544
IMPROVEMENTS:
4545
4546
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4547
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4548
4549
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4550
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4551
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4552
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4553
4554
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4555
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4556
4557
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4558
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4559
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4560
4561
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4562
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4563
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4564
4565
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4566
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4567
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4568
4569
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4570
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4571
Robert Collins)
4572
4573
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4574
Pool)
4575
4576
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4577
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4578
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4579
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4580
4581
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4582
(Robert Collins)
4583
4584
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4585
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4586
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4587
(Robert Collins)
4588
4589
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4590
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4591
4592
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4593
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4594
4595
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4596
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4597
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4598
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4599
(Robert Collins)
4600
4601
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4602
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4603
4604
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4605
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4606
4607
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4608
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4609
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4610
4611
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4612
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4613
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4614
4615
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4616
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4617
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4618
4619
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4620
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4621
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4622
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4623
4624
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4625
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4626
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4627
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4628
4629
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4630
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4631
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4632
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4633
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4634
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4635
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4636
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4637
header(s).
4638
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4639
4640
INTERNALS:
4641
4642
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4643
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4644
4645
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4646
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4647
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4648
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4649
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4650
4651
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4652
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4653
4654
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4655
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4656
4657
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4658
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4659
4660
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4661
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4662
4663
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4664
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4665
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4666
(Robert Collins).
4667
4668
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4669
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4670
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4671
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4672
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4673
(Robert Collins)
4674
4675
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4676
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4677
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4678
4679
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4680
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4681
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4682
4683
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4684
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4685
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4686
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4687
4688
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4689
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4690
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4691
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4692
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4693
4694
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4695
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4696
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4697
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4698
4699
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4700
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4701
4702
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4703
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4704
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4705
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4706
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4707
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4708
4709
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4710
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4711
4712
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4713
help. (Robert Collins)
4714
4715
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4716
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4717
4718
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4719
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4720
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4721
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4722
(John Arbash Meinel)
4723
4724
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4725
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4726
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4727
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4728
useful. (Robert Collins)
4729
4730
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4731
(Andrew Bennetts)
4732
4733
BUGFIXES:
4734
4735
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4736
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4737
4738
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4739
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4740
4741
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4742
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4743
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4744
4745
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4746
(Aaron Bentley)
4747
4748
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4749
the file, and does it faster.
4750
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4751
4752
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4753
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4754
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4755
4756
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4757
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4758
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4759
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4760
4761
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4762
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4763
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4764
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4765
4766
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4767
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4768
4769
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4770
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4771
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4772
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4773
Arbash Meinel)
4774
4775
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4776
4777
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4778
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4779
4780
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4781
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4782
4783
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4784
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4785
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4786
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4787
security hole.
4788
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4789
4790
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4792
4793
TESTING:
4794
4795
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4796
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4797
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4798
4799
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4800
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4801
4802
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4803
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4804
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4805
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4806
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4807
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4808
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4809
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4810
4811
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4812
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4813
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4814
4815
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4816
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4817
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4818
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4819
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4820
access.
4821
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4822
4823
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4824
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4825
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4826
4827
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4828
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

4846
CHANGES:
4847
4848
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4849
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4850
(Martin Pool)
4851
4852
IMPROVEMENTS:
4853
4854
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4855
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4856
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4857
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4858
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4859
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4860
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4861
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4862
path. (vila)
4863
4864
INTERNALS:
4865
4866
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4867
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4868
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4869
4870
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4871
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4872
(Martin Pool)
4873
4874
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4875
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4876
(John Arbash Meinel)
4877
4878
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4879
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4880
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4881
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4882
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4883
4884
BUGFIXES:
4885
4886
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4887
(vila, #92195)
4888
4889
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4890
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4891
4892
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4893
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4894
4895
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4896
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4897
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4898
4899
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4900
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4901
4902
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4903
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4904
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4905
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4906
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4907
4908
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4909
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4910
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4911
4912
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4916
-----------------------
4917
4918
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4919
4920
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4921
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4922
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4923
4924
IMPROVEMENTS:
4925
4926
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4927
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4928
4929
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4930
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4931
4932
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4933
4934
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4935
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4936
4937
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4938
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4939
4940
INTERNALS:
4941
4942
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4943
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4944
4945
BUGFIXES:
4946
4947
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4948
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4949
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4950
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4951
4952
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4953
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4954
4955
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4956
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4957
4958
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4959
(Marien Zwart)
4960
4961
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4966
-----------------------
4967
4968
SURPRISES:
4969
4970
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4971
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4972
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4973
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4974
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4975
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4976
4977
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4978
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4979
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4980
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4981
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4982
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4983
development.
4984
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4985
4986
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4987
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4988
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4989
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4990
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4991
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4992
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4993
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4994
4995
IMPROVEMENTS:
4996
4997
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4998
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4999
5000
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5001
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5002
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5003
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5004
does exist.
5005
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5006
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5007
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5008
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5009
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5010
5011
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5012
(Aaron Bentley)
5013
5014
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5015
(Aaron Bentley)
5016
5017
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5018
(Robert Collins)
5019
5020
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5021
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5022
(Aaron Bentley)
5023
5024
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5025
(Aaron Bentley)
5026
5027
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5028
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5029
5030
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5031
directory. (Martin Pool)
5032
5033
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5034
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5035
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5036
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5037
5038
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5039
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5040
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5041
in docs/configuration.txt.
5042
5043
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5044
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5045
bind location.
5046
5047
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5048
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5049
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5050
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5051
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5052
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5053
5054
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5055
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5056
5057
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5058
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5059
5060
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5061
(Aaron Bentley)
5062
5063
INTERNALS:
5064
5065
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5066
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5067
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5068
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5069
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5070
(John Arbash Meinel)
5071
5072
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5073
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5074
(Aaron Bentley)
5075
5076
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5077
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5078
(John Arbash Meinel)
5079
5080
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5081
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5082
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5083
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5084
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5085
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5086
5087
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5088
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5089
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5090
5091
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5092
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5093
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5094
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5095
repository.
5096
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5097
5098
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5099
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5100
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5101
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5102
5103
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5104
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5105
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5106
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5107
5108
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5109
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5110
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5111
5112
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5113
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5114
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5115
5116
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5117
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5118
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5119
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5120
5121
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5122
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5123
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5124
5125
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5126
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5127
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5128
5129
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5130
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5131
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5132
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5133
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5134
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5135
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5136
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5137
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

5140
5141
BUGFIXES:
5142
5143
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5144
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5145
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5146
5147
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5148
(Aaron Bentley)
5149
5150
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5151
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5152
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5153
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5154
5155
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5156
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5157
#83954).
5158
5159
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5160
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5161
5162
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5163
5164
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5165
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5166
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5167
5168
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5169
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5170
5171
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.

* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5175

* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5178

5183
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5184

TESTING:
5186
5187

* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5197
5198
BUG FIXES:
5199
5200
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5201
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5202
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5203
5204
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5205
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5206
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5210
-----------------------
5211
5212
IMPROVEMENTS:
5213
5214
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5215
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5216
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5217
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5218
5219
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5220
(Marius Kruger)
5221
5222
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5223
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5224
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5225
5226
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5227
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5228
5229
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5230
(Aaron Bentley)
5231
5232
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5233
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5234
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5235
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5236
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5237
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5238
5239
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5240
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5241
should enable you to do::
5242
5243
[/home/user/project]
5244
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5245
push_location:policy = appendpath
5246
5247
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5248
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5249
(James Henstridge)
5250
5251
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5252
for each file. For example::
5253
5254
$ bzr status --short
5255
A foo
5256
A bar
5257
D baz
5258
? wooley
5259
5260
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5261
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5262
5263
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5264
5265
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5266
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5267
5268
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5269
5270
INTERNALS:
5271
5272
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5273
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5274
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5275
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5276
5277
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5278
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5279
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5280
5281
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5282
5283
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5284
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5285
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5286
(Alexander Belchenko)
5287
5288
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5289
Pool)
5290
5291
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5292
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5293
5294
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5295
5296
BUG FIXES:
5297
5298
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5299
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5300
5301
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5302
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5303
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5304
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5305
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5306
5307
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5308
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5309
5310
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5311
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5312
5313
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5314
matcher.
5315
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5316
5317
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5318
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5319
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5320
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5321
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5322
5323
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5324
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5325
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5326
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5327
5328
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5329
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5330
5331
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5332
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5333
5334
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5335
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
5350
5351
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5352
tree from a branch.
5353
(Daniel Silverstone)
5354
5355
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5356
operations are substantially faster.
5357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5358
5359
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5360
tree from some other url. For example:
5361
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5362
(Daniel Silverstone)
5363
5364
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5365
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5366
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5367
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5368
5369
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5370
(Andrew Bennetts)
5371
5372
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5373
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5374
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5375
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5376
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5377
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5378
5379
INTERNALS:
5380
5381
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5382
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5383
(Martin Pool)
5384
5385
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5386
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5387
(John Arbash Meinel)
5388
5389
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5390
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5391
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5392
(John Arbash Meinel)
5393
5394
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5395
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5396
5397
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5398
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5399
5400
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5401
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5402
Bennetts)
5403
5404
BUG FIXES:
5405
5406
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5407
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5408
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5409
5410
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5411
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5412
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5413
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5414
5415
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5416
5417
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5418
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5419
5420
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5421
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5422
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5423
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5424
5425
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5426
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5427
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5428
5429
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5430
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5431
them as full references rather than integers.
5432
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5433
5434
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5435
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5436
5437
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5438
5439
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5440
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5441
5442
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5443
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5444
5445
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5446
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5447
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5448
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5449
5450
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5451
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5452
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5453
5454
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5455
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5456
5457
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5458
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5459
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5460
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5461
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5462
5463
TESTING:
5464
5465
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5466
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

5478
-----------------------

5480
IMPROVEMENTS:
5481
5482
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5483
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5484
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5485
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5486
5487
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5488
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5489
5490
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5491
5492
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5493
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5494
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5495
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5496
5497
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5498
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5499
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5500
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5501
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5502
5503
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5504
5505
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5506
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5507
5508
INTERNALS:
5509
5510
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5511
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5512
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5513
5514
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5515
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5516
(John Arbash Meinel)
5517
5518
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5519
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5520
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5521
5522
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5523
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5524
(Aaron Bentley)
5525
5526
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5527
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5528
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5529
5530
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5531
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5532
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5533
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5534
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5535
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5536
5537
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5538
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5539
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5540
(Robert Collins)
5541
5542
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5543
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5544
5545
BUG FIXES:
5546
5547
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5548
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5549
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5550
#63360, #66349)
5551
5552
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5553
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5554
5555
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5556
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5557
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5558
5559
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5560
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5561
5562
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5563
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5564
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5565
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5566
5567
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5568
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5569
5570
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5571
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5572
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5573
5574
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5575
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5576
5577
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5578
5579
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5580
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5581
#32054)
5582
5583
TESTING:
5584
5585
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5586
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5587
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5588
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5589
5590
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5591
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5592
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5593
5594
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
5595
--------------------
5596
5597
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5598
5599
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5600
-----------------------
5601
5602
BUG FIXES:
5603
5604
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5605
5606
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5607
Arbash Meinel).
5608
5609
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5610
-----------------------
5611
5612
IMPROVEMENTS:
5613
5614
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5615
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5616
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5617
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5618
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5619
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5620
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5621
5622
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5623
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5624
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5625
5626
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5627
5628
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5629
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5630
5631
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5632
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5633
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5634
(Robert Collins)
5635
5636
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5637
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5638
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5639
(John Arbash Meinel)
5640
5641
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5642
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5643
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5644
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5645
Pool)
5646
5647
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5648
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5649
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5650
(John Arbash Meinel)
5651
5652
BUG FIXES:
5653
5654
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5655
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5656
5657
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5658
5659
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5660
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5661
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5662
5663
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5664
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5665
5666
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5667
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5668
5669
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5670
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5671
5672
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5673
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5674
5675
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5676
5677
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5678
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5679
5680
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5681
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5682
5683
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5684
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5685
5686
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5687
(John Arbash Meinel)
5688
5689
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5690
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5691
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5692
5693
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5694
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5695
5696
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5697
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5698
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5699
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5700
5701
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5702
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5703
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5704
5705
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5706
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5707
5708
PORTABILITY:
5709
5710
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5711
5712
INTERNALS:
5713
5714
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5715
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5716
(John Arbash Meinel)
5717
5718
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5719
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5720
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5721
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5722
5723
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5724
(Andrew Bennetts)
5725
5726
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5727
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5728
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5729
5730
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5731
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5732
5733
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5734
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5735
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5736
5737
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5738
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5739
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5740
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5741
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5742
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5743
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5744
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5745
caller to repeat their request.
5746
(John Arbash Meinel)
5747
5748
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5749
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5750
5751
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5752
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5753
5754
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5755
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5756
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5757
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5758
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5759
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5760
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5761
5762
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5763
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5764
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5765
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5766
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5767
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5768
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5769
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5770
(Robert Collins)
5771
5772
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5773
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5774
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5775
5776
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5777
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5778
5779
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5780
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5781
5782
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5783
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5784
5785
TESTING:
5786
5787
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5788
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5789
5790
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5791
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5792
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5793
5794
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5795
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5796
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5797
5798
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5799
--------------------
5800
5801
IMPROVEMENTS:
5802
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5803
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5804
5805
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5806
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5807
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5808
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5809
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5810
5811
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5812
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5813
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5814
5815
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5816
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5817
5818
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5819
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5820
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5821
5822
BUG FIXES:
5823
5824
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5825
5826
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5827
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5828
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5829
5830
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5831
5832
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5833
5834
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5835
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5836
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5837
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5838
5839
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5840
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5841
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5842
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5843
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5844
5845
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5846
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5847
5848
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5849
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5850
5851
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5852
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5853
5854
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5855
in handling of revision properties.
5856
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5857
5858
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5859
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5860
5861
INTERNALS:
5862
5863
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5864
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5865
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5866
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5867
(John Arbash Meinel)
5868
5869
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5870
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5871
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5872
5873
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5874
---------------------
5875
5876
SURPRISES:
5877
5878
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5879
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5880
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5881
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5882
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5883
a more conservative list than the old default.
5884
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5885
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5886
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5887
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5888
5889
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5890
to more locations than just branch locations.
5891
(Aaron Bentley)
5892
5893
IMPROVEMENTS:
5894
5895
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5896
revno:N:branch. For example,
5897
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5898
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5899
5900
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5901
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5902
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5903
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5904
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5905
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5906
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5907
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5908
#42517, #42514)
5909
5910
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5911
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5912
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5913
(Malone #3507)
5914
5915
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5916
(Alexander Belchenko)
5917
5918
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5919
5920
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5921
(Robert Collins).
5922
5923
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5924
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5925
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5926
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5927
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5928
(John Arbash Meinel)
5929
5930
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5931
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5932
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5933
grained analysis of performance.
5934
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5935
5936
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5937
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5938
5939
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5940
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5941
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5942
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5943
file. (Robert Collins).
5944
5945
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5946
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5947
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5948
5949
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5950
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5951
Matthieu Moy)
5952
5953
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5954
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5955
5956
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5957
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5958
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5959
the same way you would apply another branch.
5960
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5961
5962
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5963
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5964
5965
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5966
(Michael Ellerman)
5967
5968
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5969
(Aaron Bentley)
5970
5971
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5972
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5973
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5974
5975
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5976
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5977
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5978
5979
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5980
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5981
5982
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5983
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5984
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5985
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5986
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5987
5988
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5989
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5990
5991
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5992
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5993
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5994
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5995
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5996
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5997
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5998
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5999
6000
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6001
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6002
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6003
6004
BUG FIXES:
6005
6006
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6007
tests not to run.
6008
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6009
6010
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6011
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6012
6013
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6014
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6015
6016
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6017
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6018
6019
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6020
6021
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6022
(John Arbash Meinel)
6023
6024
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6025
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6026
6027
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6028
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6029
and y.
6030
6031
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6032
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6033
6034
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6035
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6036
6037
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6038
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6039
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6040
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6041
6042
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6043
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6044
6045
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6046
6047
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6048
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6049
6050
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6051
6052
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6053
6054
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6055
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6056
6057
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6058
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6059
6060
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6061
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6062
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6063
6064
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6065
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6066
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6067
6068
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6069
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6070
6071
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6072
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6073
6074
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6075
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6076
6077
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6078
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6079
6080
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6081
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6082
6083
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6084
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6085
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6086
6087
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6088
6089
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6090
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6091
6092
INTERNALS:
6093
6094
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6095
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6096
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6097
6098
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6099
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6100
6101
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6102
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6103
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6104
6105
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6106
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6107
6108
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6109
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6110
(Martin Pool)
6111
6112
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6113
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6114
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6115
6116
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6117
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6118
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6119
6120
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6121
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6122
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6123
6124
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6125
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6126
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6127
6128
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6129
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6130
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6131
6132
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6133
instead. (Robert Collins)
6134
6135
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6150
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6151
6152
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6153
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6154
6155
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6156
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

6167
6168
CHANGES:
6169
6170
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6171
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6172
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6173
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6174
6175
NEW FEATURES:
6176
6177
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6178
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

INTERNALS:
6182
6183

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6186
6187
TESTING:

6192
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
6193
-------------------
6194
6195
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6196
6197
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6198
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6199
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6200
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6201
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6202
will keep the same format.
6203
6204
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6205
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6206
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6207
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6208
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6209
6210
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6211
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6212
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6213
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6214
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6215
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6216
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6217
6218
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6219
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6220
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6221
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6222
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6223
6224
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6225
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6226
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6227
arrangement.
6228
6229
6230
IMPROVEMENTS:
6231
6232
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6233
convention. Paths now take the form::
6234
6235
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6236
or
6237
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6238
6239
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6240
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6241
6242
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6243
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6244
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6245
6246
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6247
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6248
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6249
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6250
6251
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6252
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6253
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6254
6255
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6256
6257
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6258
6259
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6260
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6261
commits::
6262
6263
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6264
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6265
| xargs bzr re-sign
6266
6267
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6268
6269
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6270
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6271
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6272
(Robert Collins)
6273
6274
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6275
6276
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6277
6278
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6279
'.moved'.
6280
6281
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6282
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6283
6284
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6285
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6286
Daniel Silverstone)
6287
6288
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6289
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6290
Martin Pool)
6291
6292
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6293
6294
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6295
6296
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6297
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6298
6299
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6300
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6301
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6302
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6303
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6304
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6305
6306
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6307
6308
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6309
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6310
(Robert Collins)
6311
6312
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6313
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6314
6315
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6316
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6317
6318
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6319
6320
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6321
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6322
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6323
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6324
specification by Martin Pool.
6325
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6326
6327
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6328
Belchenko)
6329
6330
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6331
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6332
6333
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6334
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6335
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6336
6337
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6338
6339
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6340
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6341
(Robert Collins)
6342
6343
CHANGES:
6344
6345
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6346
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6347
6348
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6349
6350
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6351
6352
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6353
(Olaf Conradi)
6354
6355
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6356
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6357
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6358
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6359
6360
INTERNALS:
6361
6362
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6363
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6364
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6365
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6366
6367
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6368
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6369
tried. (Martin Pool)
6370
6371
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6372
(Martin Pool)
6373
6374
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6375
6376
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6377
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6378
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6379
6380
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6381
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6382
6383
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6384
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6385
paths. (Robert Collins)
6386
6387
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6388
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6389
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6390
6391
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6392
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6393
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6394
6395
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6396
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6397
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6398
6399
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.

6402
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6403
(Olaf Conradi)
6404
6405
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6406
6407
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6408
6409
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6410
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6411
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6412
(Robert Collins)
6413
6414
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6415
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6416
6417
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6418
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6419
check. (Robert Collins)
6420
6421
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6422
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6423
6424
TESTING:
6425
6426
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6427
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6428
6429
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6430
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6431
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6432
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6433
6434
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6435
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6436
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6437
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6438
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6439
6440
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6441
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6442
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6443
6444
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6445
6446
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6447
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6448

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
6450
------------------
6451
6452
CHANGES:
6453
6454
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6455
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6456
6457
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6458
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6459
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6460
(Johan Rydberg)
6461
6462
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6463
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6464
6465
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6466
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6467
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6468
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6469
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6470
6471
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6472
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6473
used. (Robert Collins)
6474
6475
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6476
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6477
(James Henstridge)
6478
6479
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6480
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6481
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6482
6483
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6484
ignore list.
6485
6486
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6487
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6488
6489
IMPROVEMENTS:
6490
6491
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6492
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6493
6494
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6495
6496
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6497
6498
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6499
tree. (Robert Collins)
6500
6501
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6502
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6503
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6504
(Robert Collins)
6505
6506
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6507
that they be kept.
6508
6509
* Tweaks to short log printing
6510
6511
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6512
(Aaron Bentley)
6513
6514
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6515
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6516
6517
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6518
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6519
6520
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6521
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6522
6523
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6524
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6525
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6526
6527
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6528
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6529
6530
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6531
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6532
requests.
6533
6534
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6535
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6536
6537
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6538
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6539
6540
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6541
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6542
6543
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6544
(Denys Duchier)
6545
6546
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6547
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6548
6549
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6550
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6551
6552
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6553
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6554
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6555
6556
BUG FIXES:
6557
6558
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6559
6560
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6561
6562
* Error when run with -OO
6563
6564
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6565
(Martin Pool)
6566
6567
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6568
6569
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6570
6571
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6572
ignored by diff and status
6573
6574
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6575
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6576
6577
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6578
6579
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6580
6581
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6582
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6583
6584
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6585
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6586
6587
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6588
(Harald Meland)
6589
6590
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6591
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6592
6593
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6594
6595
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6596
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6597
6598
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6599
(Martin Pool)
6600
6601
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6602
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6603
6604
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6605
6606
TESTING:
6607
6608
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6609
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6610
6611
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6612
6613
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6614
6615
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6616
6617
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6618
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6619
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6620
6621
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6622
6623
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6624
(John Arbash Meinel)
6625
6626
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6627
6628
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6629
If adding a new test script please add that to
6630
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6631
6632
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6633
imported. (Martin Pool)
6634
6635
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6636
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6637
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6638
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6639
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6640
(Robert Collins)
6641
6642
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6643
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6644
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6645
6646
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6647
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6648
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6649
6650
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6651
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6652
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6653
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6654
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6655
(Robert Collins).
6656
6657
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6658
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6659
(Robert Collins).
6660
6661
INTERNALS:
6662
6663
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6664
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6665
6666
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6667
function. (Robert Collins)
6668
6669
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6670
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6671
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6672
6673
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6674
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6675
(Robert Collins)
6676
6677
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6678
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6679
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6680
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6681
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6682
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6683
version. (Robert Collins)
6684
6685
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6686
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6687
6688
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6689
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6690
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6691
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6692
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6693
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6694
6695
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6696
(Robert Collins)
6697
6698
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6699
6700
add()
6701
commit()
6702
move()
6703
rename_one()
6704
unknowns()
6705
6706
(Robert Collins)
6707
6708
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6709
6710
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6711
6712
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6713
Pool)
6714
6715
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6716
query method. (Robert Collins)
6717
6718
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6719
(Denys Duchier)
6720
6721
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6722
(Michael Ellerman)
6723
6724
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6725
(Michael Ellerman)
6726
6727
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6728
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6729
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6730
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6731
6732
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6733
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6734
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6735
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6736
6737
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6738
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6739
6740
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6741
------------------
6742
6743
IMPROVEMENTS:
6744
6745
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6746
(John A Meinel)
6747
6748
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6749
conflicts.
6750
(Aaron Bentley)
6751
6752
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6753
a separator, not ':'.
6754
(Aaron Bentley)
6755
6756
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6757
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6758
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6759
6760
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6761
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6762
(Robert Collins)
6763
6764
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6765
has been added that suppresses all output.
6766
6767
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6768
Adams.
6769
6770
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6771
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6772
6773
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6774
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6775
6776
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6777
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6778
6779
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6780
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6781
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6782
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6783
6784
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6785
6786
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6787
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6788
6789
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6790
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6791
6792
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6793
output directory, if one was supplied.
6794
6795
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6796
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6797
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6798
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6799
6800
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6801
6802
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6803
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6804
6805
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6806
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6807
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6808
6809
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6810
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6811
6812
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6813
(Aaron Bentley)
6814
6815
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6816
6817
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6818
6819
TESTING:
6820
6821
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6822
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6823
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6824
6825
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6826
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6827
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6828
6829
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6830
is given. (Martin Pool)
6831
6832
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6833
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6834
file. (Robert Collins)
6835
6836
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6837
(Martin Pool)
6838
6839
INTERNALS:
6840
6841
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6842
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6843
representation. (Martin Pool).
6844
6845
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6846
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6847
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6848
6849
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6850
(Robert Collins)
6851
6852
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6853
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6854
Magnus Therning.
6855
6856
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6857
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6858
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6859
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6860
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6861
6862
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6863
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6864
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6865
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6866
python path. (Robert Collins)
6867
6868
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6869
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6870
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6871
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6872
6873
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6874
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6875
6876
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6877
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6878
(Robert Collins)
6879
6880
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6881
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6882
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6883
6884
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6885
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6886
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6887
6888
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6889
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6890
6891
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6892
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6893
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6894
(Robert Collins)
6895
6896
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6897
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6898
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6899
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6900
(Robert Collins)
6901
6902
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6903
(Robert Collins)
6904
6905
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6906
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6907
(Robert Collins)
6908
6909
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6910
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6911
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6912
6913
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6914
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6915
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6916
6917
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6918
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6919
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6920
6921
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6922
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6923
6924
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6925
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6926
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6927
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6928
caller. (Robert Collins)
6929
6930
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6931
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6932
(Robert Collins).
6933
6934
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6935
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6936
(Aaron Bentley)
6937
6938
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6939
6940
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6941
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6942
6943
BUG FIXES:
6944
6945
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6946
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6947
6948
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6949
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6950
6951
6952
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6953
--------------------
6954
6955
BUG FIXES:
6956
6957
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6958
allow directories to be listed.
6959
6960
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6961
upgrading branch format.
6962
6963
PERFORMANCE:
6964
6965
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6966
6967
6968
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6969
------------------
6970
6971
NOTES:
6972
6973
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6974
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6975
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6976
high-latency connections.
6977
6978
BUG FIXES:
6979
6980
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6981
Rob Weir.
6982
6983
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6984
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6985
6986
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6987
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6988
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6989
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6990
6991
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6992
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6993
6994
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6995
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6996
6997
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6998
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6999
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7000
7001
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7002
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7003
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7004
Robert Collins
7005
7006
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7007
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7008
7009
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7010
different partial views of history.
7011
7012
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7013
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7014
7015
IMPROVEMENTS:
7016
7017
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7018
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7019
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7020
7021
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7022
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7023
'bzr upgrade'.
7024
7025
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7026
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7027
7028
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7029
Niemeyer.
7030
7031
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7032
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7033
7034
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7035
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7036
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7037
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7038
7039
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7040
7041
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7042
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7043
Gustavo Niemeyer.
7044
7045
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7046
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7047
7048
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7049
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7050
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7051
7052
7053
INTERNALS:
7054
7055
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7056
for your viewing pleasure.
7057
7058
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7059
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7060
7061
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7062
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7063
handling of such circumstances.
7064
7065
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7066
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7067
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7068
7069
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7070
7071
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7072
we call them revisions not patches.
7073
7074
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7075
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7076
7077
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7078
giving the revision *of that file*.
7079
7080
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7081
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7082
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7083
7084
TESTING:
7085
7086
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7087
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7088
7089
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7090
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7091
7092
7093
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7094
--------------------
7095
7096
BUG FIXES:
7097
7098
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7099
7100
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7101
(Robert Collins).
7102
7103
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7104
7105
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7106
7107
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7108
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7109
7110
IMPROVEMENTS:
7111
7112
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7113
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7114
7115
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7116
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7117
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7118
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7119
Robey Pointer
7120
7121
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7122
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7123
7124
INTERNALS:
7125
7126
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7127
7128
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7129
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7130
7131
7132
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7133
--------------------
7134
7135
IMPROVEMENTS:
7136
7137
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7138
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7139
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7140
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7141
Michael Ellerman.
7142
7143
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7144
(Nir Soffer)
7145
7146
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7147
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7148
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7149
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7150
for the operating system is still tried.
7151
7152
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7153
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7154
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7155
7156
7157
INTERNALS:
7158
7159
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7160
7161
BUG FIXES:
7162
7163
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7164
7165
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7166
branch.
7167
7168
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7169
read.
7170
7171
7172
PORTABILITY:
7173
7174
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7175
7176
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7177
7178
7179
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7180
--------------------
7181
7182
NEW FEATURES:
7183
7184
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7185
help with intelligent shell completion.
7186
7187
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7188
7189
7190
ENHANCEMENTS:
7191
7192
* Much better merge support.
7193
7194
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7195
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7196
like emacs smerge.
7197
7198
7199
BUG FIXES:
7200
7201
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7202
mention revisions that are not present.
7203
7204
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7205
7206
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7207
7208
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7209
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7210
7211
7212
CHANGES:
7213
7214
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7215
7216
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7217
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7218
--help themselves.
7219
7220
7221
LIBRARY:
7222
7223
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7224
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7225
libraries.
7226
7227
7228
7229
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7230
--------------------
7231
7232
NEW FEATURES:
7233
7234
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7235
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7236
7237
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7238
7239
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7240
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7241
7242
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7243
FOO.
7244
7245
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7246
7247
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7248
the Unix command.
7249
7250
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7251
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7252
7253
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7254
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7255
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7256
7257
7258
ENHANCEMENTS:
7259
7260
* Faster working tree operations.
7261
7262
7263
CHANGES:
7264
7265
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7266
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7267
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7268
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7269
7270
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7271
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7272
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7273
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7274
standard plugins directory.
7275
7276
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7277
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7278
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7279
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7280
7281
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7282
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7283
7284
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7285
disk.
7286
7287
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7288
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7289
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7290
7291
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7292
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7293
7294
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7295
line options must come before the command name because they
7296
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7297
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7298
it.
7299
7300
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7301
7302
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7303
is available with ``--short``.
7304
7305
7306
BUG FIXES:
7307
7308
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7309
7310
7311
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7312
---------------------
7313
7314
CHANGES:
7315
7316
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7317
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7318
7319
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7320
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7321
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7322
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7323
7324
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7325
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7326
with the ``--forward`` option.
7327
7328
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7329
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7330
field.
7331
7332
7333
ENHANCEMENTS:
7334
7335
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7336
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7337
7338
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7339
7340
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7341
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7342
7343
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7344
7345
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7346
either read or write mode.
7347
7348
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7349
7350
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7351
affected that file.
7352
7353
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7354
7355
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7356
suggested by LarstiQ.
7357
7358
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7359
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7360
7361
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7362
a filename.
7363
7364
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7365
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7366
7367
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7368
haven't changed since the previous time.
7369
7370
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7371
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7372
7373
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7374
7375
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7376
7377
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7378
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7379
7380
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7381
options through to an external GNU diff.
7382
7383
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7384
their contents.
7385
7386
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7387
from a branch.
7388
7389
7390
BUG FIXES:
7391
7392
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7393
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7394
7395
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7396
metacharacters.
7397
7398
7399
TESTING:
7400
7401
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7402
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7403
the tests.
7404
7405
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7406
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7407
7408
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7409
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.

7448
---------------------
7449
7450
ENHANCEMENTS:
7451
7452
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7453
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7454
7455
* More default ignore patterns.
7456
7457
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7458
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7459
7460
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7461
7462
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7463
by Jason Diamon.
7464

7467
7468
CHANGES:
7469
7470
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7471
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7472
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7473
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7474
there are DNS problems.
7475
7476
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7477
7478
7479

7486
trailing newlines properly.
7487
7488
7489
INTERNAL:
7490
7491
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7492
Matt Brubeck.
7493
7494
* More tests in test.sh.
7495
7496

7497
directory and delete it when done.
7498
7499

7500
7501
7502

7533
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7534
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7535
will do for now.)
7536
7537
PORTABILITY:
7538
7539
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7540
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro

7579
7580
* Performance improvements.
7581
7582
